This argument is so boring. Simply look at what the region has, Newport RFC, Cross Keys RFC, Bedwas RFC and now Ebbw Vale RFC all in the Prem. That gives a great feeder system for Gwent based teams to bring home grown players through and simply calling the region Newport will kill off three feeders. That would kill off any development options for ever. Stupid none spence some of you so called supporters spout I doubt if any of you go to games anyway.

Robert I have been a supporter of Newport Rugby football club since 1960 through thick and thin mostly thin it has to be said. For the past ten years I have also been a Dragons season ticket holder as well, even though I did not and still do not agree with regional rugby. The people of Gwent have had ten years to buy into this ill thought out project and have been found wanting, that's not to imply criticism, every supporter wants to watch their team whether it be a city,town or village. The clubs you mention above have always been feeder clubs to the bigger clubs I mean no disrespect in saying this but it's just the way it is, but their supporters do not want to support a so called region. If you dropped Newport, Gwent or Dragons from the name and called it something else it would still be Newport people for the most part supporting it. I'm afraid if we don't go back to the future soon rugby is going to die in Wales."
